Hot take: My neighbor thinks I just nail shoes on horses all day.

I mean, they have no idea about the anatomy and care involved. It's kinda funny but also a bit frustrating.

If it's not 'mystical art', why make a big deal out of it?

Exactly, sometimes people make simple things sound way harder than they are. It's still a real skill, just not some secret magic. The basics are pretty straightforward once you see them done right.

Look, from the outside it really is just specialized shoe fitting. You clean the foot, trim the extra growth like a dog's nail, and attach a metal shoe. Most pet owners grasp the basics of trimming claws or filing beak overgrowth. The real skill is in the craft and the animal handling, but the core task isn't some mystical art. It's okay if a neighbor just sees the simple result.
